Think my invite for your afternoon tea got misplaced? LOL....OMG once again I LOVE LOVE LOVE yours more than "the pros". You are sooo talented and PLEASE tell me that backdrop in the picture of your table taken outdoors with the shell compote is fake! That is UNREAL. And if its real, I am rsvp'ing now for the tea in Oct! Fabulous!!!!

Hi D, Love all of these and yours are among my favorites. You always do such a lovely job on your tablescapes. Have a wonderful weekend, I am still plugging away on the wrought iron in the backyard!! Ho-hum Kathysue

Delores, Thanks for sharing your inspirational centerpiece photos.They're all gorgeous, but I have to say, I like yours best. I've been a huge Ralph Lauren fan for years, and also decorate with Autumn colors, so your centerpieces really speak to me. Thanks for the inspiration.Babs

I love centerpieces and you've shown these at a perfect time... I'm in charge of centerpieces for our Silent Auction at work, so these have been a big inspiration to me. Thanks for the beautiful pictures!

We love fresh flowers and can not get enough of them! We just got some fresh ideas for weekend arrangements for our guest! These are over the top and "yes" our favorite is the last one (simple yet make a statement)!

I love them all, but especially yours with the shell compote and anything using artichokes. I wish I could grow some of the flowers used in SW Florida. I miss lilacs and peonies. This post is a keeper. Thanks.

Delores,These centerpieces are all stunning! Your Ralph Lauren roses won over as a favorite!!! So romantic! However; I'll be hosting our Ladies Circle in November and your "Abundance" totally caught my eye. Thank you for sharing these lovely inspirations!Fondly,Pat

Oh, I love that last centrepiece! It's comparable to the ones from House Beautiful. I remember some of those - especially that first white bouquet - I remember loving and studying that room. Also, how classic the blue teacup with the yellow flowers is - wow!

Inspiration abounding!!!

oh, btw, do you remember.... I think that it was last year, the Pottery Barn catalog had the most beautiful ideas for centerpieces - acorns in jars, etc. Beautiful!

Oh, and one other thing. the first time I saw flowers in a mason jar was at a serious - for real - country picnic. They don't read the magazines - they just are! (LOL!) They had simply gone out to the fields and filled the jars with queen anne's lace and echinacea and every pretty blue flower and ferns and put them on the picnic tables. I was enthralled! I was, also, impressed at their resourcefulness. Well, now, it's all the rage and I love it!!!=]
